Jami Shapiro, the president of Silver Linings Transitions, is a single mother of three kids ranging in age from 21 to 14 who additionally faced a cancer diagnosis 18 years ago.
After starting Silver Linings Transitions, Jami’s fifteen-year marriage ended and she saw personally how difficult it is for women to re-enter the workforce (whether or not it’s a result of divorce after taking time off to raise children), especially in a meaningful way. Her company allows her to combine her passion for helping helping women develop the skills and confidence necessary to compete in today’s job market while also helping clients who need extra nurturing and compassion during tough times.
Jami’s cancer diagnosis in 2004 was the wake up call she needed to make changes in her life regarding both her physical health and mental outlook. Believing everything happens for a reason, she discovered the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM) in 2014.
As someone who’s faced tough transitions herself, Jami sees Silver Linings Transitions as professional and compassionate guides through the stressful process of moving, especially during significant life transitions such as senior moves and divorce/separation. The company has also added storage clear out and home organization to their service offerings.
Jami chose the name Silver Linings Transitions because the company’s goal is to help find the “silver lining” for those facing a move and to be a compassionate and understanding resource for adult children who need to move their parents.
Her experiences in real estate, moving cross country, divorcing, and clearing her grandmother’s home after an unexpected death enable her to understand the challenges of the move, both physically and emotionally. Over the years she has helped many families losing their homes to foreclosure and short sales which helped her cultivate the sensitivity needed to guide seniors who may not want to accept help or may not be ready to accept that new limitations make moving a necessity.
